I think both IQ and EQ are equally important. I think the way we “measure” IQ is questionable and very subjective. We are created with intelligence and emotion. That is our human nature. Neither can truly be measured accurately until we apply them in our own lives. There are many people around the world who don’t go to school and never took an academic test. But they’re not stupid or ignorant; and they have a huge heart full of compassion, empathy and sympathy for their fellow human being! That’s what IQ and EQ both measure isn’t it? Your ability to think, to adapt and survive in the world you live in and to care about those who live in that world with you?

A child with high IQ and EQ is indeed a very fortunate child. But oftentimes, both are not present in one person; so the saying “you can not have all the cake and eat it too” could be true.

We often see persons with high IQ as loners or they always want to be secluded because they get irritated with people who could not easily grasp what they are conveying or saying. They tend to be anti-social; so one can aspire more for a high EQ and he will enjoy life more.

Husbands and wives should really give a little “space” for each other to make their relationship last long. Sometimes the wife only needs someone to talk to like her relatives or close friends. Each one should give way to another one’s wish;or sometimes both can compromise. This is achieved through open communication.

Thanks!

Very well, very fitting for couples who started a relationship up to the time that both are “retirees!” ha ha ha! I can relate to this! But the success of a relationship really depends on the couple; they should remain loyal to each other through the odds of life. Usually when we are old enough, it is just respect for each other that prevails, which could also be considered as “love” for each other; whichever way it is, it should be, for the relationship to last forever!

i have always been very thankful that despite the fights i had with my husband we grow stronger together. we both understand each other’s needs as time passes and now we are being tested by distance…

After a lot of reading and encountering many serious situations, I have decided not to have any strong and loving relationship. The more I observe and examine the more serious they turn out to be. We get depression and even insomnia. I allow it to continue as it is. Just enjoying nature, moving to a restaurant together, going side by side holding hands together, some respect for each other, some objections, some quarrels, agreements and disagreements etc.,

I love this article. Thank you for writing and sharing it with. As a young person, marriage is a hard subject because there are so few great examples out there. We see marriage as an unhappy union, something to make other people happy rather than the couple themselves. It is an expensive endeavor, for if it does not coast a lot then apparently the love is not real.
So you points have struck a cord with me as deep down i believe these points.
